These brewing gloves are standard issue in the Blichmann Research Lab.
They will help reduce the risk of burns and scalds, keep harmful sanitizers, acids, and caustic chemicals from your skin, allow you to reach into 5 gallon pails, and are tear and puncture resistant.
Sizing Guide: Gloves are available in M (size 9), L (size 10), and XL (size 11). To select your size, measure the circumference of your hand at the knuckles using a flexible fabric tape or a piece of string in inches. That measurement corresponds with the glove number size. For half sizes, round up to the next size. For example, if your hand measures 8.5", select the size 10 glove. For 8.25", select the size 9 glove.

I agree with the previous post... These are full size and offer great protection. Even keep your hands cool if you have fix a stuck mash... doh! (fill the glove with water to get more digging time in your stuck mash)

These gloves definitely are extremely durable and will not melt. I mainly use them when reaching into sanitizer or cleaning solution for bottles or equipment. They also work great for a quick grab of a hot surface. The only downside is, due to the thick and durable material, you lose some dexterity when trying to grab things._x000D__x000D_I was slightly disappointed to see that the gloves are not Blichmann Engineering like the picture implies them to be. They are, instead, a different, generic manufacturer. I'm sure the gloves are pretty identical in terms of material and durability, but this was a bit misleading._x000D__x000D_Nevertheless, I would still recommend them._x000D__x000D_Editors Note: We had some gloves in the store that were not Blichmann, but those should not have been sent to you if you ordered these gloves. Please contact us if this is the case, and we will send you replacements.

I brew using Brew in a Bag, so I need gloves when handling the grain bag. I hold it while it drains, and I squeeze it. And 170F wort hurts, so these gloves come in handy. Regular dish washing gloves are too thin, these are thicker.

The added length of the sleeve means liquid doesn't run down the side into the gloves and come in contact with my hands. The large size fits well also. They have some thickness so I can handle something hot, like a hops bag, without getting burned.

These are great for brew day and bottling day because of the long sleeve length. Your skin will never come in contact with liquid. They are durable, and if you have a stuck mash they will protect you from the heat for a short while..

These are very handy for bottling, cleaning, and during brewday. Its easier to keep these clean when handling things, and the long length prevents wort of cleaning liquids from contacting your hand when you stick your hand in buckets._x000D_They are thick enough to briefly hold hot items, but a BIAB brewer would need thicker gloves than these to hold a hot grain bag.

The gloves not only protect my hand, they are easier to sanitize in case my hands or arms come in contact with anything I want clean (like wort, or beer on bottling day). They are thick and durable. When doing BIAB and squeezing you will want something thicker than these. Other than that, they are perfect.

These are easier to sanitize and better to work with when bottling. I also use them when brewing to keep wort off my arms. They are thick but not so thick that you will want to stick your arm in 150 wort for any length of time.

When I bottle I like to wear these gloves because they are easy to sanitize and keep everything away from my beer like arm hair. They fit well and are long. I use rubber bands to keep them tight at the top.

I don't want my flesh exposed to PBW and other cleaners , thats why I got these. They are long and large enough for my big hands to easily put on and take off. Useful for bottling if you have to handle things in contact with your beer.

Just stick your hands in a bucket of star san from time to time, as you are bottling, and cut down on infection risk while handling tubing. I take them off when actually capping. I also wear them when using PBW.

Hops bags retain a lot of wort. To avoid losing that wort, you either have to squeeze the bag or let it drain for a while (and then still squeeze it). These gloves will help in squeezing the bag. But they aren't really thick enough, your hands will still hurt from the heat. I don't recommend them, I would instead get thicker gloves chemical/heat resistant for half the price at home depot.

At times you need to hold hot liquid filled grain or hops and these will do the job. They keep you from getting burned. Not too short, fit well._x000D_Have a stuck mash? You need to reach in, these will protect you.
